  I have received three emails from Jim Wang of China about my domain name. I told him that we do not sell anything in China (we don’t sell anything!) Is this something I should respond to? I this a farce? Can you help me?

  Dear Manager,

  (If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO,Thanks)

  This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China.
  We received an application from Huake Ltd on December 1, 2014. They want to register ” newny23rd ” as their Internet Keyword and ” newny23rd .cn “、” newny23rd .com.cn ” 、” newny23rd .net.cn “、” newny23rd .org.cn ” domain names etc.., they are in China domain names. But after checking it, we find “newny23rd ” conflicts with your company. In order to deal with this matter better, so we send you email and confirm whether this company is your distributor or business partner in China or not?

  Best Regards,

  Dear Rich Stewart,

  Based on your company having no relationship with them, we have suggested they should choose another name to avoid this conflict but they insist on this name as CN domain names (cn/ com.cn/ net.cn/ org.cn) and internet keyword on the internet. In our opinion, maybe they do the similar business as your company and register it to promote his company.
  According to the domain name registration principle: The domain names and internet keyword which applied based on the international principle are opened to companies as well as individuals. Any companies or individuals have rights to register any domain name and internet keyword which are unregistered. Because your company haven’t registered this name as CN domains and internet keyword on the internet, anyone can obtain them by registration. However, in order to avoid this conflict, the trademark or original name owner has priority to make this registration in our audit period. If your company is the original owner of this name and want to register these CN domain names (cn/ com.cn/ net.cn/ org.cn) and internet keyword to prevent anybody from using them, please inform us. We can send an application form and the price list to you and help you register these within dispute period.

  Kind regards

  Jim

  Dear Rich Stewart,

  We have not heard from you since our last comunication. Since your company haven’t registered this name as CN domains (cn/ com.cn/ net.cn/ org.cn) and internet keyword on the internet, anyone can obtain them by registration. You must know the domain names and internet keyword which applied based on the international principle are opened to companies as well as individuals. Also, we have suggested they should choose another name but they are persistent in this name. As a domain name registrar, we have no rights to refuse their application if they insist. In this situation, we have told you your company have the priorty in registering CN domains and internet keyword in our audit period. Could you tell us whether or not your company want to register these CN domain names and internet keyword to prevent anyone from using them? If your company need to register these names in china, we can send an application form and the price list to you and help you register these within dispute period.

  Best Regards

  Jim

  Hi there,

  There have been a few users that have received this email. It looks like this registrar is just trying to get you to purchase newny23rd.com.cn. If you would like to purchase it you may, but it you don’t want it you can disregard this email. Please do some research to get a valid .com.cn registrar.

  They are trying to say that anyone can register newny23rd.com.cn as that would be a brand new domain and whoever registers that can benefit from your site as some readers may confuse newny23rd.com.cn with newny23rd.com.

  If you have any questions about this, please let me know.

  Thank you. As I said in my inquiry we do not sell anything, we are a group that discusses issues important to our congressional district. I do not want to be registered in China.

  Thanks again.
